a few people have asked me where do I get my fonts from and how do I install
them on my computer so today I'm going to show you where I source my fonts my
graphic design projects as well as give you a few tips on installing them you
can jump to the timecard in the corner if you want to skip the intro what is up
people welcome by two satori graphics home of graphic design content right
here on YouTube just a heads up for you guys but next week I'm going away
traveling but I'm going to try and record a few videos over the weekend in
advance however if have a busy weekend it might
mean the nanny upload one or two videos next week but the week after that I'm
going to be back to normal with for weekly graphic design uploads
the first website is called 1001 fonts and the great thing about this website
is that some funds are free for you to use across your projects you notice at
the very top there are categories of font styles such as San serif and
written and so forth but you can also use the search bar the pink icon lets
you know that our font is only for personal use but the green icon tells
you that the font is downloadable for you to use anywhere on your graphic
design work
this next website is a little more pricey but you do have peace of mind
that you can use your font anywhere you want without any corporations phone shop
has categories such as bestsellers new fonts and there's not many free fonts on
here to be honest with you but you can check out the sales section but yeah if
you have the money and you really like a specific font
it might be worth purchasing it to obtain the license
I will quickly show you a great tip for managing your fonts on your computer
over here in 1000 1000 I would go to download this phone and as
you can see it's free for me to use anywhere my work once you download it
there locate the file on your computer
on a Mac you will need to open up the phone book window
and then once you have it drop the font file into your phonebook you only want
to use a TTF file
now once you've done that you will notice up a folder where I keep all of
my typefaces I saved this folder on a computer and also an external hard drive
because trust me you don't want to lose your files so I save it in two places
if you had a demonstrator open while students thought the font you're going
to need to close it to be illustrator and then reopen it for the fun to appear
so there are two great places online to download in source fonts some are free and
some are not let me know where you get your phones from and if you found
today's graphic design video useful subscribe to Satori graphics for for
weekly graphic design uploads but remember the next week I might only have
one or two uploads until next time this on your future today peace
